Makerspace

STEngineeringM with Rig-a-Ma-Gig

Design, build and execute.

Build something that can lift.

Another structure that can lift.

A collaborative effort to build something that can lift an object.

In our first few visits to Makerspace the children had the opportunity to become acquainted with the materials and practice working collaboratively to create representative structures. As the year has progressed the children's structures have become more elaborate and sophisticated. The children were challenged to build something that could lift another object.
